His music was great. And his name will not be forgotten. I still remember the first time I listened to his music as a kid. It captivated me and filled me with a strong yet subtle urge to dance. May he rest in peace.

Hmmm... and I wrote a fairly lengthy post that was nothing but sympathetic to Jackson that has somehow disappeared.

I dislike the trolls as much as anyone else, but I can't help but wonder what criteria were used in the "cleaning".

Whatever life he led, we will all remember him because of his stardom and his rise and fall as the best pop star the world has ever seen. His music has touched billions of people. I'll remember him as that instead of listening to people grumble upon his social exploits.

RIP

You didn't even have to finish. Thanks for your display of ignorance.

No need to say another word here, you're just irrelevant.

Why? Because he doesn't agree with you? That is a real mature way of seeing other people's opinion.

Truth is, even though I liked his music, he was a sicko the second half of his life.

He was a pedophile, but a great artist. So I won't say rest in peace, but I won't say "**** him" either. I'm just indifferent, another person of the world that died.

It was never proven he was a child molester. What has been proven is he is/was a great artist.

Funny how these trolls have very few post count, suggesting they don't post much here; are coming in flocks now because I guess they think their opinion matters. LOL

Damn that was a nice cleanup job.

The amount of records you sell does not mean you are a great artist.

Are/were the Backstreet Boys great artists? No.

And for the record, he wrote 4 of 9 tracks on Thriller.

The amount of records do show how great your music is that people actually want to buy it. Do the backstreet boys sell out 50 concerts in 5 hours? do they have the biggest selling album of all time? No

the comparison is flawed.

Exactly. He sold 750 million albums worldwide, that is a great artist, whether or not you like his music.

And BTW, tommorow a autopsy will state the exact cause of death.

Actually that isn't necessarily true. Toxicology might take several days, maybe even a week to get back. We might get preliminary results, but you also have to expect that the results will be released to the family first and then they will dictate when it is released.

People sell out one concert in less than 20 minutes.

Look at all the ****ty music going plat these days and tell me if that compared to other lesser known artists means you are a great artist.

Some of those tickets BTW Im sure were bought in large amounts to sell on (for example) eBay.

Don't kid yourself. He was great but there is no greatest artist of all time.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
